I'm excited to report that Record Store Day (April 21, 2018) will see the release of a new E.P. on Entree Records, featuring previously unreleased material by Gene Clark. The six-song E.P. features three previously unreleased songs, plus two songs that appeared on The Lost Studio Sessions ('Back Street Mirror' & 'Don't Let It Fall Through') and the original solo-acoustic demo of 'If I Hang Around' onto which Chip Douglas overdubbed bass/vocals for the 2003 Byrd Parts 2 release.

Don't Let It Fall Through
Yesterday, Am I Right

Side 2: The Chip Douglas Tape

She Told Me
That's What You Want

Actually all of them. Yesterday Am I Right that's on the EP has a full band. The Sings For You cut does not. None if the other songs are on Sings For You and only 2 were released previously on The Lost Studio Sessions from Sierra Records (Back Street Mirror and Don't Let it Fall Through).

Very cool to have more of this material coming out, but I don't buy vinyl so I'm already looking ahead to what archival release these could be attached to on CD or digital.

There is enough extant material from the 66/7 period to fill a CD release. It's probably a severe case of wishful thinking on my part and very possibly a legal and logistical nightmare to include them all. I am particularly fascinated by this period in Clark's career as he was at his most prolific as a songwriter but so little of it came out at the time.

5 cuts were played at the last Symposium in 2014-That's Why, She's Made Up Her Mind, On The Bright Side, Doctor Doctor and a Long Time. The latter 2 songs are included on the Sings For You release but I believe these are different versions. I'm happy to be proved wrong.

There are a further 12 songs in demo format according to Johnny Rogan which includes Only Colombe and Back Street Mirror. The full list can be found here:

There are a further 6 songs which were copyrighted during the period but I don't know if they exist- Sometime And Again, Too Many Days, The Way That I Feel, Maybe You Think, While You're Here and Along The Way.

I suspect ‘Maybe You Think’ is, in fact, also known as ‘Past Tense’ from Sings For You.

I don’t see how easy you could miss
Don’t you realize where she is?
Or maybe you think she’ll always wait
‘Cause you see her standin’ there again
